Isaiah 27
1 On that day Yahweh with his hard, great and fierce sword will punish Leviathan the slithering serpent, Leviathan the squirming serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, Yehowa atsɔ eƒe yi dziŋɔ, gã, sẽŋu la ahe to na Leviatan, da si nɔa eɖokui xatsam la; awu ʋɔ driba si le atsiaƒu me la hã.
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing of it.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, “Miadzi ha tso waingble si tse fũu la ŋu.
3 “I, Yahweh, am its protector; I water it every moment. I guard it night and day so no one will hurt it.
Nye Yehowae kpɔa edzi. Medea tsii ɣe sia ɣi. Medzɔa eŋu zã kple keli be ame aɖeke magagblẽe o.
4 I am not angry, Oh, that there were briers and thorns! In battle I would march against them; I would burn them all together;
Nyemedo dziku o. Ɖe wònye ŋu kple aŋɔkawoe mie nam la, anye ne meho aʋa ɖe wo ŋuti, atɔ dzo wo katã.
5 unless they grasp my protection and make peace with me; let them make peace with me.
Ema manɔmee la, woneva di sitsoƒe le gbɔnye; woneva míawɔ ŋutifafa, ɛ̃, woneva wɔ ŋutifafa kplim.”
6 In the coming day, Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and bud; and they will fill the surface of the ground with fruit.”
Ŋkekewo li gbɔna esi Yakob ato ke; Israel aƒo se, eye eƒe kutsetse ayɔ xexea me katã.
7 Has Yahweh attacked Jacob and Israel as he attacked those nations who attacked them? Have Jacob and Israel been killed as in the slaughter of those nations that were killed by them?
Ɖe Yehowa ƒoe ƒu anyi abe ale si Yehowa ƒo ame siwo ƒoe ƒu anyi la enea? Ɖe wòwui abe ale si wowu ame siwo wui la enea?
8 In exact measure you have contended, sending Jacob and Israel away; he drove them away with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind.
To aʋawɔwɔ kple aboyomeyiyi me, ètu nu kplii, etsɔ eƒe gbeɖeɖe dziŋɔ la nyae do goe abe gbe si gbe ɣedzeƒeya ƒo la ene.
9 So in this way, the iniquity of Jacob will be atoned for, for this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he will make all the altar stones as chalk and crushed to pieces, and no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
To esia me ko woalé avu Yakob ƒe vodadawo, eye esia anye kutsetse si ado tso eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa me. Eyae nye be wòagbã vɔsamlekpuiwo; woatu wɔ abe ɣe ene eye aƒeliwo ƒe dzudzɔʋeʋĩdoƒewo maganɔ anyi o.
10 For the fortified city is desolate, the habitation is deserted and forsaken like the wilderness. There a calf feeds, and there he lies down and consumes its branches.
Du si woglã la zu aƒedo, amenɔƒe si amewo megale o. Wogblẽe ɖi wòzu gbegbe, afi si nyiviwo ɖua gbe le; afi mae wotsyɔa akɔ ɖo, eye woɖua wainti ƒe alɔwo
11 When the boughs are withered, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for this is not a people of understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and he who made them will not be merciful to them.
Wainka la kuna, ŋena dzea anyi, eye nyɔnuwo fɔnɛ doa dzoe, elabena wonye ame masenugɔmewo. Eya ta woƒe Wɔla metrɔ dɔ me ɖe wo ŋu o, eye woƒe Wɔla meve wo nu o.
12 It will come about on that day that Yahweh will thresh from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt and you, the people of Israel, will be gathered together one by one.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, O! Mi Israelviwo, Yehowa aƒo mi abe lu ene tso Frat tɔsisi la to va se ɖe Egipte tɔʋuwo to, eye wòagayɔ mi aƒo ƒui ɖeka ɖeka.
13 On that day a great trumpet will be blown; and the perishing ones in the land of Assyria will come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, they will worship Yahweh on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, kpẽ sesẽ aɖi. Ame siwo le tsɔtsrɔ̃m le Asiria kple ame siwo si yi Egipte la, woatrɔ agbɔ ava subɔ Yehowa le to kɔkɔe si le Yerusalem la dzi.
